Season: Year-round, but peak season runs October-March Everyone's heard of turnips, but can you honestly say that you knew their leaves were often sold and eaten separately? If not, then it’s time you got acquainted with turnip greens, because these pungent leaves are just what the doctor ordered. One cup alone provides over 100% of the daily value (DV) of vitamins A and K, 55% of the DV of vitamin C, 27% of folate, and around 10% of calcium and manganese. No wonder turnip greens rank among the strongest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory foods you could eat.
